Celeb Relatives

[ansonfarris]

Not that it is that cool but, I did some extra work in the straight to DVD rlease of Bobby Z with Paul Walker and Laurence Fishburne. I had a great comedic one on one scene in the prison cafeteria with Paul Walker that unfortunately, hit the cutting room floor. Disappointing! However, I did get to hang out with UFC fighter Chuck Liddell for a couple hours and he is the king of cool. He was so nice and polite, it blew my mind. We talked about so much... including families, UFC, wrestling, Mexico (where the movie was filmed) etc. Plus, the fact that we had a lot in common because I used to be in the minor leagues of professional wrestling and trained under former UFC fighter Ken Shamrock. It made the non shooting dead time on set fly by. We weren't allowed to ask for autographs as extras but, I wish I could have. It was a blast.

My dad's good friend is second or third cousins with Justin Timberlake. My dad's friend only met him once though. It means nothing to him because they are barely related.

I'm distantly related to Maryweather Lewis (I don't know the spelling) from you know, Lewis & Clarke. Oh and my mom and her twin sister played the baby in the movie The Way West that was filmed in the '60's.

I am related to Allan Browning & Pat Phoenix (Allan Howard & Elsie Tanner in Coronation Street) Allan was my Grandma's cousin & Pat was his wife. I met her a few times when I was a baby but she died when I was nearly two years old so I don't remember her that well. Allan died before I was born so I didn't meet him at all.

This is not a close relation by any means, but somehow on my dad's side I'm connected to President Lincoln then on my mom's side President Madison.

Well I don't know if this counts, as I am not related by blood and he is not a HUGE celeb. College basketball coach Tony Bennett is my god-cousin. He is my god-father's nephew. That probably doesn't count, but it is the closest connection I have.

This is not mine, But two of my friends, Had Celeb Relatives.

One of them, was 1st cousin of actor Lewis Collins, a big celeb on the UK TV screens from the mid 70's-mid 80's. And one of the stars of the Professionals TV series. Sadly, hardly anything in the last 15 years.

She was also, related to Jessie Matthews, a singer/Actress/Dancer. Who made a number of UK films in the 1930's-late 1950's.

My other friend, was related to Basil Brush's Human friend, who was on the TV show in the early 1950's

Oh, I know it's a bit off the point, but my best friend, has been doing a lot of work for some celebs who live in London. And has become quite close to them {thumb2} {thumb2}

Hi margotchaning

Pat Phoenix also married Anthony (Tony) Booth after your Nan's cousin, Allan Browning.

Tony Booth is the father of Cherie Booth (now Blair), the wife of British ex-Prime Minister, Tony Blair. Therefore Pat Phoenix was Tony Blair's mother-in-law! - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Phoenix and he attended her Manchester funeral 11-years before he became PM.
